vintage boxed set of Sherdley 'Chubbies' drinking glasses

Getting hold of vintage items boxed & unused is always a bonus – this was the case with these fabulous 1950s drinking glasses.

We love the stylised leaf decoration – very typical of the era. As is the red, yellow & blue colourway.

vintage hand crocheted woollen throws and wire atomic coat hooks

More classic 1950s in the shape of this ‘atomic’ coat rack with its wooden ball finials. Red & yellow again!!

We can’t even begin to list the colours in the crocheted work – it’s a case of ‘the more the merrier’ when it comes to these vintage bedspreads & blankets.

We’ve definitely moved into the 1960s or 70s with this amazing blanket with its bold, organic design in black & red. It’s warm & cosy too – perfect camper van material!

vintage Binatone clock radio alarm

We can link via colour again for this alarm clock radio – the red & black of the LED digital display this time. It was produced by Binatone in the late 1970s.

selection of vintage Kathie Winkle crockery

On a recent fleamarket trip we came across this large collection of pottery on one stall. It was all designed by Kathie Winkle for Broadhurst Pottery in the 1960s.

The Mardi Gras range is a particular favourite of ours, but the various patterns look great mixed & matched together.

vintage Ercol beechwood rocking chair

Finally we move onto this lovely Ercol rocking chair with its original green striped cushions. We were very happy with this purchase!

It’s found a happy home by the kitchen window for the time being. It gets lovely late afternoon sun and is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea – well deserved after a hard days work of course!
